hose for steibel horn

[dacheedah]

I read the instructions for my steibel horn, it has a plastic L that pushes in from underneath and suggests some hose to a protected place.

My question is, without getting too personal, has anyone who mounted one of these run a hose and if so where is your "protected place" ??

My protected place is, I think , on one of the shelves in my storage room. Got the horn on both bikes and haven't even installed the plastic "L". So far in 3 years no problems.

They recommend running a hose to an area where it will not pull in dirt. I've seen some run up under the false tank cover (battery area) but if you don't have a maintenance free battery, you may pull in gasses from the battery. I would just run it anywhere up high and put a small filter on it. M2C

OOPS think I missed that when I put it on the Kawi as it was under the gas tank. On the RSV its (the horn) mounted in the left leg fairing. Hopefully not pulling to much crap. Guess I could run a hose up under the cover by the relays.

My protected place is send it up, then above the battery I'm sending it back down for a couple of inches, and cut it there. No way liquid get inside the horn. I have mine for the last 5 years working as the first day....

I've had a Stebel horn with no hose attached for 5 years and no problems with anything getting in there. It still works as good as the day it was installed, thou some of the "chrome" has faded and worn off.

Realisticly I guess if your not balsing the horn in a rain storm or something your not going to suck a bunch of crap in.
